What drives filtration at the glomerulus?
blood pressure
What releases when the sympathetic nervous system responds to a decrease in glomerular filtration rate?
Increased sympathetic activity causes the afferent arterioles of the renal glomerulus to constrict, thereby reducing blood flow into the glomerulus. Because a decrease in blood flow reduces blood pressure in the glomerulus, which is the driving force for filtration, GFR decreases.
What is the mm hg blood pressure in the glomerulus?
60mmhg
What causes filtrate to flow from the blood into the glomerulus?
Is increase in blood pressure in the capillaries
What does high blood pressure do in the glomerulus?
the pressure in glomerulus creates higher net filtration pressure resulting large amount of filtration formed.
What Kidney structures that help to regulate blood pressure?
The glomerulus ...
Tuft of capillaries carrying high pressure blood?
glomerulus
Explain how the blood vessels associated with the renal corpuscle help to maintain a relatively high blood pressure within the glomerulus?
The cluster of capillaries that forms a glomerulus arises from an afferent arteriole. After passing through the glomerular capillaries, blood (minus any filtered fluid) enters an efferent arteriole whose diameter is smaller than that of the afferent vessel. This is instead of entering a venule, the usual circulatory route. The efferent arteriole resists blood flow to some extent, which backs up blood into the glomerulus, increasing pressure in the glomerular capillary.
What can a person suffer from if they have a high blood pressure?
The glomerulus.
Filtration at the glomerulus is directly related what.?
arterial blood pressure and osmotic force
What is the force that causes water and solutes to be filtered by the glomerulus?
Hydrostatic pressure. The vessel draining the glomerulus has a smaller internal diameter than the vessel feeding it. This means that blood doesn't exit the glomerulus as quickly as it enters. This creates a pressure, called hydrostatic pressure, within the glomerular capillaries and that pressure forces the fluids and many solutes into the glomerular capsule surrounding the glomerulus.
What is the effect of reducing afferent arteriole radius on filtration rate?
As the afferent arteriole dilates it exposes the glomerulus to an increased blood pressure, closer and closer to that of the full systemic blood pressure. This increases GFR and Glomerular pressure. -6th Year Medical Student
